Abstract: A two-sided POP UP structure is employed to pop up a LCD screen of notebook/tablet PC while releasing. A display panel of a notebook/tablet PC is connected to a mainframe of the notebook/tablet PC via a hinge. The two-sided POP UP structure has a male part and female part. One end of the male part is fixed to the hinge, and the other end is a cylinder with a holding rib. One end of the female part is fixed to the display panel, and the other end is an elastic metal shaped around the cylinder of the male part. The elastic metal is cut to form a rotation slot for the holding rib. When the holding rib interferes with the elastic metal, the elastic metal deforms to allow the LCD screen to pop up more easily.
